I have 30 years of NHS records but no neat diagnosis label. They're floating the idea of abandoning people with depression & anxiety, these are some of symptoms but they are not the cause. I never wanted a label, but now not having one might condemn me.

I have, she reported back that the trust psychiatrists cannot see me because they don't do diagnosis assessments anymore. That's what I was saying, I don't know what they want me to do about that.

@Catherine21 This thread so so busy and crowded that I'm missing important points. What is the talk about reassessments? All of us? Soon? PIP or ESA?

You still have 30 years of ongoing disability id speak to your therapist she knows you and your struggles go to your doctor and explain the situation 30 years is a long time I think we should all get sars done from years back collect everything that's what I'm going to do it's stress from what I'm reading saying it's all set up for September 2025 ??? What diagnosis do you think you have I went to my doctor and said I know I have adhd put an assessment in I'd go to your doctor explain 30 years but you believe along side of this adhd or whatever you think does exist and push for it I had to with my doctor years ago of this takes a couple of years you have two years to get proper help and diagnosis

**people desperate to get rid of the Tories, yet remained willingly uneducated on how the labour party was taken over by Tories 40 years ago and that the Labour left are partly responsible for this government by never fully working to purge the right wing sabateurs from the party mechanisms when Corbyn was leader, nor did they build a viable alternative outside the party once it became clear they blew their chance.
(and i don't blame ordinary people only reinvogared in politics thanks to Corbyn, but those who've been involved longer, including Corbyn and all his allies)
Right to try sounds good in theory, but in reality will be abused by employers to get more free labour, just like workfare. Only way that Right to Try will work is if employers are bound to such a tight lease that exploiting disabled people becomes almost impossible.
Not something neoliberal ideologues will ever seriously implement, as capitalism relies on exploiting people to function.

it seems weird to me that these supposed proposals are all over the media yet Streeting said he doesn’t know of their plans yet . Doesn’t he listen to the news ? Are the leaks fake news ? Or are they scrambling around changing things as they become more unpopular?

Something about him that I could never trust him . Ppl thinking he was Mr flip flop and sat in the fence then day one he shows his real self . He literally gives me the creeps.

It was obvious they'd be this cruel if you paid attention to internal Labour politics since 2015, and how the Labour right (something that shouldn't exist) worked to purge the left from the party instead of fighting the Tories. Look up the Forde Report and Al Jazeera's Labour Files documentary.
If anything, Starver coming to power is a good thing, because now the whole country can see exactly what people were warning for years. Lived experience of pain and suffering is the only way British peope will learn.

Found this on Google, BBC

Seems to me they're leaking one thing, finding out everyone hates it and then leaking something else.
I genuinely suspect none of them can say for sure what will happen tomorrow (I don't rule out another delay 100%).
If their MPs have had seriously bad weekends in their constituencies, that could focus minds.

He has another bloke (Lord Alli) pay for his wife's dresses.
He should give everyone the creeps!

I really can't stand him
Horrible man he is

I can't even bear listening to him.

I agree 100% . They seem to make things up as they go along . They plan to make mistakes savings through pip which is an in work benefit. So if this goes to court same as the Tory green paper how can they claim the cuts were to get more ppl into work ? Didn’t the judge find it unlawful due to lack of risk assessments and the low rate of ppl who would be helped into work compared to the amount of money the ppl on lcwra would lose ?

Dan Wotton on YouTube had a bit to say about all that and more . Don’t know if it’s true but was interesting.

I was a member of the LP for many years. I'm aware of the period you quote as are many others on the left-wing. Nothing was obvious. Starmer never had the confidence of the left but even so we were fooled. That is not to say we were or are foolish as though current policy is our fault. There is no need for your rudeness.
